Default Bumper Help!!!

Honda could not fix it. They said to replace the front bumper. Right now I can't afford a new one.

Heres some pics. Don't mind the tires, I have the HFP 17" on order.

two washers and JB weld will re-create that hole in the bumper... won't be the prettiest, but you should be able to get the bumper back against the fender again until you can afford another one

If I push it into place and tighten the screw it will stay, its when I drive o the highway that it comes out.

JB weld (ghetto glue) a washer on the side of the bumper that doesn't touch the fender (underside)... let it dry before you do anything else.. basically what you're trying to do is make it look like it used to, you could even use a plastic washer..

anyways, the screw comes out because you don't have a complete circle of material on the bumper.. there is a gap that allows the screw to escape and the bumper to fall at higher speeds / more stress.. the fact that it stays together when you're not driving fast is a bonus.

after everything dries, screw the hell out of it and take off

This shouldn't be too hard of a fix.. I'd do it for ya if you were closer

just screw it back in before you go in to get the lights done and act like you didnt know about it, make big deal about it and make them pay!

drill 2 SUPER tiny holes on each side & get THIN metal wire and "tie them together

when they are together get a "HEAT GUN" and let it stay on it for a while "melting the plastic ( BE CARFEFUL and using a small hobby knife u should be able to bond them together.

Auto body supply stores (not Pepboys or Kragen, talking about the Pros) sell a type of glue made especially for bumper covers. It is super strong and bonds to the material permanently. You can even use excess and reform that spot with some guides in place.
